Grace Lillian Lee is an artist, designer and curator from Cairns who uses her fashion knowledge as a platform to explore her cultural identity. Of multicultural background – including German, Danish, English and Chinese – it is her Torres Strait Islander heritage that has captured her imagination.

Using a weaving technique commonly known as the grasshopper or prawn weave, each neckpiece takes 2 hours to weave and when finished uses 13 meters of cotton webbing.

Lee is the founder of the Cairns Indigenous Art Fair Fashion Performances, established in 2011.

We are collaborating with leading local and international artists, designers and makers to offer unique contemporary products. Each of these collaborations reveals a purposeful and innovative approach to materials and making.
